SECTION II – SUMMARY OF THE REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP) A.

Purpose of Request for Proposal This RFP specifies required characteristics and capabilities for the Sign Information Management System (SIMS) which will replace an existing mainframe COBOL/CICS application. SIMS will optimize DOT operations regarding the life-cycle of Traffic Control Devices (TCD’s) by capturing requests to install, modify, or remove TCD’s. For a more detailed description of how the system will work, please refer to Section III.A.1. The following terms "proposer" and "vendor" are used synonymously in this RFP. The RFP specifies terms and conditions that the successful proposer will be expected to accept. If this RFP is amended, the Agency will notify each proposer in writing. DOT is seeking a new Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) software application that the SIMS application will run on, as well as, estimated costs, annual maintenance and licensing fees over five years.

B.

Anticipated Contract Term The initial term of the proposed contract awarded through this RFP (the “Contract”) shall commence upon the issuance of a Notice to Proceed by NYCDOT. The initial proposed Contract term shall not exceed 730 Consecutive Calendar Days and may be renewed, at NYCDOT’s sole discretion, for up to three (3) 365 Consecutive Calendar Day periods.

C.

Maximum Available Funding The anticipated maximum available funding for the contract awarded from this RFP will be $1.35 million over a two year period. Under no circumstances shall the successful vendor of the proposed Contract (the “Contractor”) construe the maximum contract amounts as an expectation of future business. In determining that the price is fair and reasonable, greater consideration will be given to proposers that propose more competitive prices and/or more efficient use of funds and whose price is under the ceiling of $1.35 million for the two (2) years. In addition, NYCDOT reserves the right to increase or decrease available funding at any time.

D.

Anticipated Payment Structure The Contractor shall provide a Price proposal that will address the completion of all the requirements of this RFP (See Attachment E). The payment structure of the contract awarded from this RFP will be based on milestone payments tied to outcomes as specified in Section III, F.1 and the Milestone Payment Price Proposal Sheet, Section VII, Attachment E. However, the Agency will consider proposals to structure payments in a different manner and reserves the right to select any payment structure that is in the City’s best interest.

4

E.

Transfer of Property Rights The Contractor shall agree to irrevocably transfer, assign and convey any reports, documents, data, photographs and/or any other materials produced by the Contractor (“Copyrightable Materials”), for the Contract. Such Copyrightable Materials shall be considered “work-made-for-hire” within the meaning and purview of Section 101 of the United States Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. §101, and the City of New York (the “City”) shall be the copyright owner thereof and of all aspects, elements and components thereof in which copyright protection might subsist. To the extent that the Copyrightable Materials do not qualify as “work-made-for-hire,” the Contractor shall irrevocably transfer, assign and convey exclusive copyright ownership in and to the Copyrightable Materials to the City, free and clear of any liens, claims, or other encumbrances. The Contractor shall acknowledge that it retains no copyright or intellectual property interest in the Copyrightable Materials, and they shall be used by the Contractor for no other purpose without the prior written permission of the City. The Contractor shall be paid a yet to be determined amount in full compensation for such transfer, assignment and conveyance of exclusive copyright ownership of the Copyrightable Materials.

F.

Joint Ventures and Other Consultant Relationships:

Joint ventures will be allowed. There will be no minimum requirement for the proportion of work by either of the two joint venture partners. Joint ventures must carry the required insurance either as policies written specifically for the joint venture entity, or by using their existing single entity policies with endorsements written for the joint venture activity. DOT does not recognize the corporate configuration wherein one company is “in association with” another. Relationships between two or more firms shall be either as joint venture partners or prime consultant/sub-consultant. In the event that a proposal is received wherein two or more firms are described as being "in association with" each other, DOT will treat the relationship as one of prime consultant/subconsultant(s). The RFP evaluation will be handled accordingly, and if chosen as a winner, the contract documents will show only the prime firm on the signature page, and all other firms will be relegated to sub-consultant category.

SECTION III – SCOPE OF SERVICES

A.

Agency Goals and Objectives for this RFP

The Agency’s goals and objectives for this RFP is to obtain a cost-effective state-of-the-art computer system that improves the agency’s ability to manage the sign workflows across NYC .as explained in Section III E.1 & E.2. Vendors must affirm whether, and to what extent, their products and capabilities will be compatible with future releases of the proposed Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) software and its additional features and applications. The Agency understands that any future implementation of additional features and applications may require the purchase of software components or services beyond those covered by this RFP, but the successful vendor must offer capabilities that are compatible with the Agency’s future plans. 1 Project Background The general purpose of SIMS will be to optimize operations regarding the life cycle of Traffic Control Devices (TCD). The life of a device usually begins as a request to install or modify a TCD. SIMS shall capture these requests and facilitate their investigations which will lead to a determination of whether or not the device shall be installed or modified. If the request is granted, the system will generate a work order that provides direction regarding where and how the TCD should be installed, modified or removed. SIMS will serve as the official repository of approved TCDs. It will manage inventory information for TCDs and materials needed for installations. If the device is in inventory, the system will drive the stock issuance process to distribute the necessary inventory to the crews performing the installation. If it is not in inventory, the TCD can be obtained in one of two ways: it can be manufactured by DOT and/or purchased from a vendor. SIMS will facilitate both methods. TCD field work is performed both by contractors and in-house DOT crews. The nature of the work, whether site-specific or area-wide, type of device, time of year, and urgency of the work typically determines whether the work is done by in-house staff or contractors. The field crew will access their assigned work orders and note the completion of their work in SIMS. Once a TCD has been installed, SIMS will facilitate its maintenance and capture all data regarding the device throughout its lifecycle. The web based system will also manage ancillary processes, some of which include inventory requisitioning and distribution, document management, field work audits and inspections, and contractor management. All functions will be performed using SIMS’ user-friendly graphical interface. SIMS will be spatially enabled, and will relate each TCD to a geographic location. This should allow users to view and manipulate TCDs and their associated data by using a map interface as well as database text fields. The Sign Information Management System (SIMS) will be based on an open systems architecture that is modular and scalable to meet the current and future needs of the Agency.

In order to establish the technical evaluation ranking, the ratings by the evaluation committee members will be added and averaged for each proposing firm. Upon completion of the evaluation of the Technical Proposals, proposers will be ranked in descending order of score. A “short-list” of only those proposers who submit proposals which have scored 70 points or higher will be established. Proposers not included on the “short-list” will not be further considered. DOT reserves the right to limit the number of firms shortlisted. The short-listed proposers will be invited to make oral presentations and to demonstrate and present their proposed solution based on the agenda described below. This agenda may be subject to change and DOT will provide updates to all shortlisted participants prior to the actual presentation date. a. SIMS simulation i. The Contractor will load a DOT provided database and execute a Demonstration Test Plan (Attachment K) using their application. The application will be retained for a 30-day period by DOT. b.

Subsequent to any such presentations and the demonstrations, the Evaluation Committee will have the opportunity to revise the proposers’ Technical Scores, as appropriate.

21

The Agency reserves the right to enter into negotiations with one or more proposers and subsequently to request the submission of Best and Final Offers from those proposers who, after the conclusion of such negotiations, are still under consideration for award. No proposer shall have any rights against the Agency arising from an invitation to enter into negotiations or to submit a Best and Final Offer. The final technical score will be calculated by the Evaluation Committee. The final selection will be made of that proposal which has the highest total overall technical score and whose price does not exceed the maximum funding set forth in Section II C of this RFP. In the event that DOT has chosen to negotiate a fair and reasonable price with the highest ranked proposer, if such a fee is not successfully negotiated, DOT may conclude such negotiations, and enter into negotiations with the next ranked vendor(s), as necessary. Although discussions may be conducted with proposers submitting acceptable proposals, DOT reserves the right to award contracts on the basis of initial proposals received, without discussions; therefore, the proposer’s initial proposal should contain its best programmatic and Price terms. B.

Basis for Contract Award

Award will be made to that short-listed proposer whose proposal scores the highest technical rating and whose price does not exceed the maximum funding set forth in Section II C of this RFP. A contract will be awarded to the responsible proposer whose proposal is determined to be the most advantageous to the City, taking into consideration the factors or criteria which are set forth in this RFP. Contract award is subject to successful negotiation of contract terms with the apparent winner.

If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of this paragraph, the Contractor shall indemnify the City for all losses, judgments, settlements and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from an insurer’s disclaimer of coverage citing late notice by or on behalf of the City. B. The Contractor’s failure to maintain any of the insurance required by this Article shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement. Such breach shall not be waived or otherwise excused by any action or inaction by the City at any time. C. Insurance coverage in the minimum amounts required in this Article shall not relieve the Contractor or its subcontractors of any liability under this Agreement, nor shall it preclude the City from exercising any rights or taking such other actions as are available to it under any other provisions of this Agreement or Law. D. The Contractor waives all rights against the City, including its officials and employees for any damages or losses that are covered under any insurance required under this Article (whether or not such insurance is actually procured or claims are paid thereunder) or any other insurance applicable to the operations of the Contractor and/or its subcontractors in the performance of this Agreement. E. In the event the Contractor requires any subcontractor to procure insurance with regard to any operations under this Agreement and requires such subcontractor to name the Contractor as an additional insured under such insurance, the Contractor shall ensure that such entity also name the City, including its officials and employees, as an additional insured with coverage at least as broad as the most recently issued ISO form CG 20 26.

Section 8.04 Infringement Indemnification The Contractor shall defend, indemnify and hold the City harmless from any and all claims (even if the allegations of the lawsuit are without merit) or judgments for damages and from costs and expenses to which the City may be subject to or which it may suffer or incur allegedly arising out of or in connection with any infringement by the Contractor of any copyright, trade secrets, trademark or patent rights or any other property or personal right of any third party by the Contractor and/or its subcontractors in the performance of this Agreement. The Contractor shall defend, indemnify, and hold the City harmless regardless of whether or not the alleged infringement arises out of compliance with the Agreement’s scope of services/scope of work.

The City shall not, however, impose a setoff in the event that an insurance company that provided liability insurance pursuant to Article 7 above has accepted the City's tender of the claim or action without a reservation of rights. D. The Department may, at its option, withhold for purposes of set-off any monies due to the Contractor under this Agreement up to the amount of any disallowances or questioned costs resulting from any audits of the Contractor or to the amount of any overpayment to the Contractor with regard to this Agreement. E. The rights and remedies of the City provided for in this Section shall not be exclusive and are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by Law or this Agreement. Section 8.08 No Third Party Rights The provisions of this Agreement shall not be deemed to create any right of action in favor of third parties against the Contractor or the City or their respective officers and employees.

In addition, any obligation necessarily incurred by the Contractor on account of this Agreement prior to receipt of notice of termination and falling due after the termination date shall be paid by the City in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In no event shall such obligation be construed as including any lease or other occupancy agreement, oral or written, entered into between the Contractor and its landlord. Section 10.02 Reductions in Federal, State and/or City Funding A. This Agreement is funded in whole or in part by funds secured from the federal, State and/or City governments. Should there be a reduction or discontinuance of such funds by action of the federal, State and/or City governments, the City shall have, in its sole discretion, the right to terminate this Agreement in whole or in part, or to reduce the funding and/or level of services of this Agreement caused by such action by the federal, State and/or City governments, including, in the case of the reduction option, but not limited to, the reduction or elimination of programs, services or service components; the reduction or elimination of contract-reimbursable staff or staff-hours, and corresponding reductions in the budget of this Agreement and in the total amount payable under this Agreement.

In addition, any obligation necessarily incurred by the Contractor on account of this Agreement prior to receipt of notice of reduction and falling due after the reduction date shall be paid by the City in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In no event shall such obligation be construed as including any lease or other occupancy agreement, oral or written, entered into between the Contractor and its landlord. D. To the extent that the reduction in public funds is a result of the State determining that the Contractor may receive medical assistance funds pursuant to title eleven of article five of the Social Services Law to fund the services contained within the scope of a program under this Agreement, then the notice and effective date provisions of this section shall not apply, and the Department may reduce such public funds authorized under this Agreement by informing the Contractor of the amount of the reduction and revising attachments to this agreement as appropriate.

If the Contractor initiates any action in breach of this Section, the Contractor shall be responsible for and shall promptly reimburse the City for any attorneys’ fees incurred by the City in removing the action to a proper court consistent with this Section. Section 12.03 Resolution of Disputes A. Except as provided in Subparagraphs (A)(1) and (A)(2) below, all disputes between the City and the Contractor that arise under, or by virtue of, this Agreement shall be finally resolved in accordance with the provisions of this Section and PPB Rule § 4-09.

Page 32 of 47

Appendix A August 2011 Final B. All determinations required by this Section shall be clearly stated, with a reasoned explanation for the determination based on the information and evidence presented to the party making the determination. Failure to make such determination within the time required by this Section shall be deemed a non-determination without prejudice that will allow application to the next level. C. During such time as any dispute is being presented, heard, and considered pursuant to this Section, the Agreement terms shall remain in full force and effect and, unless otherwise directed by the ACCO or Engineer, the Contractor shall continue to perform work in accordance with the Agreement and as directed by the ACCO or City Engineer, City Resident Engineer, City Engineering Audit Officer, or other designee of the Agency Head. Failure of the Contractor to continue the work as directed shall constitute a waiver by the Contractor of any and all claims being presented pursuant to this Section and a material breach of contract. D.

Presentation of Dispute to Agency Head.

1. Notice of Dispute and Agency Response. The Contractor shall present its dispute in writing (“Notice of Dispute”) to the Agency Head within the time specified herein, or, if no time is specified, within thirty (30) Days of receiving written notice of the determination or action that is the subject of the dispute. This notice requirement shall not be read to replace any other notice requirements contained in the Agreement. The Notice of Dispute shall include all the facts, evidence, documents, or other basis upon which the Contractor relies in support of its position, as well as a detailed computation demonstrating how any amount of money claimed by the Contractor in the dispute was arrived at. Within thirty (30) Days after receipt of the complete Notice of Dispute, the ACCO or, in the case of construction or construction-related services, the City Engineer, City Resident Engineer, City Engineering Audit Officer, or other designee of the Agency Head, shall submit to the Agency Head all materials he or she deems pertinent to the dispute. Following initial submissions to the Agency Head, either party may demand of the other the production of any document or other material the demanding party believes may be relevant to the dispute. The requested party shall produce all relevant materials that are not otherwise protected by a legal privilege recognized by the courts of New York State. Any question of relevancy shall be determined by the Agency Head whose decision shall be final. Willful failure of the Contractor to produce any requested material whose relevancy the Contractor has not disputed, or whose relevancy has been affirmatively determined, shall constitute a waiver by the Contractor of its claim. 2. Agency Head Inquiry. The Agency Head shall examine the material and may, in his or her discretion, convene an informal conference with the Contractor and the ACCO and, in the case of construction or construction-related services, the City Engineer, City Resident Engineer, City Engineering Audit Officer, or other designee of the Agency Head, to resolve the issue by mutual consent prior to reaching a determination. The Agency Head may seek such technical or other expertise as he or she shall deem appropriate, including the use of neutral mediators, and require any such additional material from either or both parties as he or she deems fit. The Agency Head’s ability to render, and the effect of, a decision hereunder shall not be impaired by any Page 33 of 47

Appendix A August 2011 Final negotiations in connection with the dispute presented, whether or not the Agency Head participated therein. The Agency Head may or, at the request of any party to the dispute, shall compel the participation of any other contractor with a contract related to the work of this Agreement and that contractor shall be bound by the decision of the Agency Head.

MACBRIDE PRINCIPLES PROVISIONS

MACBRIDE PRINCIPLES PROVISIONS FOR NEW YORK CITY CONTACTORS ARTICLE I. MACBRIDE PRINCIPLES NOTICE TO ALL PROSPECTIVE CONTRACTORS Local Law No. 34 of 1991 became effective on September 10, 1991 and added Section 6-115.1 to the Administrative code of the City of New York. The local law provides for certain restrictions on City contracts to express the opposition of the people of the City of New York to employment discrimination practices in Northern Ireland and to encourage companies doing business in Northern Ireland and to promote freedom of workplace opportunity. Pursuant to Section 6-115.1, prospective contractors for contracts to provide goods or services involving and expenditure of an amount greater than ten thousand dollars, or for construction involving an amount greater than fifteen thousand dollars, are asked to sign a rider in which they covenant and represent, as a material condition of their contract, that any business in Northern Ireland operations conducted by the contractor and any individual or legal entity in which the contractor holds a ten percent or greater ownership interest and any individual or legal entity that holds a ten percent or greater ownership interest in the contractor will be conducted in accordance with the MacBride Principles of nondiscrimination in employment. Prospective contractors are not required to agree to these conditions. However, in the case of contracts let by competitive sealed bidding, whenever the lowest responsible bidder has not agreed to stipulate to the conditions set forth in this notice and another bidder who has agreed to stipulate to such conditions has submitted a bid within five percent of the lowest responsible bid for a contract to supply goods, services or construction of comparable quality, the contracting entity shall refer such bids to the Mayor, the Speaker or other officials, as appropriate, who may determine, in accordance with applicable law and rules, that it is in the best interest of the city that the contract be awarded to other than the lowest responsible bidder pursuant to Section 313(b) (2) of the City Charter. In the case of contracts let by other than competitive sealed bidding, if a prospective contractor does not agree to these conditions, no agency, elected official or the Council shall award the contract to that bidder unless the entity seeking to use the goods, services or construction certifies in writing that the contract is necessary for the entity to perform its functions and there is no other responsible contractor who will supply goods, services or construction of comparable quality at a comparable price. PART A In accordance with Section 6-115.1 of the Administrative Code of the City of New York, the contractor stipulates that such contractor and any individual or legal entity in which the contractor holds a ten percent or greater ownership interest and any individual or legal entity that holds a ten percent or greater ownership interest in the contractor either (a) have no business operations in Northern Ireland, or (b) shall take lawful steps in good faith to conduct any business operations they have in Northern Ireland in accordance with the MacBride Principles, and shall permit independent monitoring of their compliance with such principles. PART B For purposes of this section, the following terms shall have the following meanings: 1. “MacBride Principles” shall mean those principles relating to nondiscrimination in employment and freedom of workplace opportunity which require employers doing business in Northern Ireland to: (1)

increase the representation of individuals from underrepresented religious groups in the work force, including managerial, supervisory, administrative, clerical and technical jobs;

(2)

take steps to promote adequate security for the protection of employees from underrepresented religious groups both at the workplace and while traveling to and from work;

(3)

ban provocative religious or political emblems from the workplace;

(4)

Publicly advertise all job openings and make special recruitment efforts to attract applicants from underrepresented religious groups;

(5)

establish layoff, recall and termination procedures which do not in practice favor a particular religious group;

(6)

establish all job reservations, apprenticeship restrictions and different employment criteria which discriminate on the basis of religion;

(7)

develop training programs that will prepare substantial numbers of current employees from underrepresented religious groups for skilled jobs, including the expansion of existing programs and the creation of new programs to train, upgrade and improve the skills of workers from underrepresented religious groups;

(8)

establish procedures to assess, identify and actively recruit employees from underrepresented religious groups with potential for further advancement, and

(9)

appoint a senior management staff member to oversee affirmative action efforts and develop a timetable to ensure their full implementation.

The contractor agrees that the covenants and representations in Article I above are material conditions to this contract. In the event the contracting entity receives information that the contractor who made the stipulation required by this section is in violation thereof, the contracting entity shall review such information and give the contractor an opportunity to respond. If the contracting entity finds that a violation has occurred, the entity shall have the right to declare the contractor in default and/or terminate this contract for cause and procure the supplies, services or work from another source in any manner the entity deems proper. In the event of such termination, the contractor shall pay to the entity, or the entity in its sole discretion may withhold from any amounts otherwise payable to the contractor, the difference between the contract price for the uncompleted portion of this contract and the cost to the contracting entity of completing performance of the contract, either itself or by engaging another contractor or contractors. In the case of a requirements contact, the contractor shall be liable for such difference in price for the entire amount of supplies required by the contracting entity for the uncompleted term of its contract. In the case of a construction contract, the contracting entity shall also have the right to hold the contractor in partial or total default in accordance with the default provisions of the contract, and/or may seek debarment or suspension of the contractor. The rights and remedies of the entity hereunder shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any rights and remedies the entity has pursuant to this contract or by operation of law

ARTICLE I.

M/WBE PROGRAM

Local Law No. 129 of 2005 added and Local Law 1 of 2013 amended Section 6-129 of the Administrative Code of the City of New York (hereinafter “Section 6-129”). Section 6-129 establishes the program for participation in City procurement (“M/WBE Program”) by minorityowned business enterprises (“MBEs”) and women-owned business enterprises (“WBEs”), certified in accordance with Section 1304 of the New York City Charter. As stated in Section 6129, the intent of the program is to address the impact of discrimination on the City’s procurement process, and to promote the public interest in avoiding fraud and favoritism in the procurement process, increasing competition for City business, and lowering contract costs. The contract provisions contained herein are pursuant to Section 6-129, and the rules of the Department of Small Business Services (“DSBS”) promulgated thereunder. If this Contract is subject to the M/WBE Program established by Section 6-129, the specific requirements of MBE and/or WBE participation for this Contract are set forth in Schedule B of the Contract (entitled the “M/WBE Utilization Plan”), and are detailed below. The Contractor must comply with all applicable MBE and WBE requirements for this Contract. All provisions of Section 6-129 are hereby incorporated in the Contract by reference and all terms used herein that are not defined herein shall have the meanings given such terms in Section 6-129. Article I, Part A, below, sets forth provisions related to the participation goals for construction, standard and professional services contracts. Article I, Part B, below, sets forth miscellaneous provisions related to the M/WBE Program. PART A PARTICIPATION GOALS FOR CONSTRUCTION, STANDARD AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACTS OR TASK ORDERS 1. The MBE and/or WBE Participation Goals established for this Contract or Task Orders issued pursuant to this Contract, (“Participation Goals”), as applicable, are set forth on Schedule B, Part I to this Contract (see Page 1, line 1 Total Participation Goals) or will be set forth on Schedule B, Part I to Task Orders issued pursuant to this Contract, as applicable. 1

06/2013 The Participation Goals represent a percentage of the total dollar value of the Contract or Task Order, as applicable, that may be achieved by awarding subcontracts to firms certified with New York City Department of Small Business Services as MBEs and/or WBEs, and/or by crediting the participation of prime contractors and/or qualified joint ventures as provided in Section 3 below, unless the goals have been waived or modified by Agency in accordance with Section 6129 and Part A, Sections 10 and 11 below, respectively. 2. If Participation Goals have been established for this Contract or Task Orders issued pursuant to this Contract, Contractor agrees or shall agree as a material term of the Contract that Contractor shall be subject to the Participation Goals, unless the goals are waived or modified by Agency in accordance with Section 6-129 and Part A, Sections 10 and 11 below, respectively. 3. If Participation Goals have been established for this Contract or Task Order issued pursuant to this Contract, a Contractor that is an MBE and/or WBE shall be permitted to count its own participation toward fulfillment of the relevant Participation Goal, provided that in accordance with Section 6-129 the value of Contractor’s participation shall be determined by subtracting from the total value of the Contract or Task Order, as applicable, any amounts that the Contractor pays to direct subcontractors (as defined in Section 6-129(c)(13)), and provided further that a Contractor that is certified as both an MBE and a WBE may count its own participation either toward the goal for MBEs or the goal for WBEs, but not both. A Contractor that is a qualified joint venture (as defined in Section 6-129(c)(30)) shall be permitted to count a percentage of its own participation toward fulfillment of the relevant Participation Goal. In accordance with Section 6-129, the value of Contractor’s participation shall be determined by subtracting from the total value of the Contract or Task Order, as applicable, any amounts that Contractor pays to direct subcontractors, and then multiplying the remainder by the percentage to be applied to total profit to determine the amount to which an MBE or WBE is entitled pursuant to the joint venture agreement, provided that where a participant in a joint venture is certified as both an MBE and a WBE, such amount shall be counted either toward the goal for MBEs or the goal for WBEs, but not both. 4. A. If Participation Goals have been established for this Contract, a prospective contractor shall be required to submit with its bid or proposal, as applicable, a completed Schedule B, M/WBE Utilization Plan, Part II (see Pages 2-4) indicating: (a) whether the contractor is an MBE or WBE, or qualified joint venture; (b) the percentage of work it intends to award to direct subcontractors; and (c) in cases where the contractor intends to award direct subcontracts, a description of the type and dollar value of work designated for participation by MBEs and/or WBEs, and the time frames in which such work is scheduled to begin and end. In the event that this M/WBE Utilization Plan indicates that the bidder or proposer, as applicable, does not intend to meet the Participation Goals, the bid or proposal, as applicable, shall be deemed non-responsive, unless Agency has granted the bidder or proposer, as applicable, a preaward waiver of the Participation Goals in accordance with Section 6-129 and Part A, Section 10 below. B. (i) If this Contract is for a master services agreement or other requirements type contract that will result in the issuance of Task Orders that will be individually registered (“Master Services Agreement”) and is subject to M/WBE Participation Goals, a prospective 2

06/2013 contractor shall be required to submit with its bid or proposal, as applicable, a completed Schedule B, M/WBE Participation Requirements for Master Services Agreements That Will Require Individually Registered Task Orders, Part II (page 2) indicating the prospective contractor’s certification and required affirmations to make all reasonable good faith efforts to meet participation goals established on each individual Task Order issued pursuant to this Contract, or if a partial waiver is obtained or such goals are modified by the Agency, to meet the modified Participation Goals by soliciting and obtaining the participation of certified MBE and/or WBE firms. In the event that the Schedule B indicates that the bidder or proposer, as applicable, does not intend to meet the Participation Goals that may be established on Task Orders issued pursuant to this Contract, the bid or proposal, as applicable, shall be deemed nonresponsive. (ii) Participation Goals on a Master Services Agreement will be established for individual Task Orders issued after the Master Services Agreement is awarded. If Participation Goals have been established on a Task Order, a contractor shall be required to submit a Schedule B – M/WBE Utilization Plan For Independently Registered Task Orders That Are Issued Pursuant to Master Services Agreements, Part II (see Pages 2-4) indicating: (a) whether the contractor is an MBE or WBE, or qualified joint venture; (b) the percentage of work it intends to award to direct subcontractors; and (c) in cases where the contractor intends to award direct subcontracts, a description of the type and dollar value of work designated for participation by MBEs and/or WBEs, and the time frames in which such work is scheduled to begin and end. The contractor must engage in good faith efforts to meet the Participation Goals as established for the Task Order unless Agency has granted the contractor a pre-award waiver of the Participation Goals in accordance with Section 6-129 and Part A, Section 10 below. C. THE BIDDER/PROPOSER MUST COMPLETE (SCHEDULE B, PART II). A SCHEDULE B SUBMITTED BY

THE SCHEDULE B INCLUDED HEREIN THE BIDDER/PROPOSER WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE THE VENDOR CERTIFICATION AND REQUIRED AFFIRMATIONS (SEE SECTION V OF PART II) WILL BE DEEMED TO BE NON-RESPONSIVE, UNLESS A FULL WAIVER OF THE PARTICIPATION GOALS IS GRANTED (SCHEDULE B, PART III). IN THE EVENT THAT THE CITY DETERMINES THAT THE BIDDER/PROPOSER HAS SUBMITTED A SCHEDULE B WHERE THE VENDOR CERTIFICATION AND REQUIRED AFFIRMATIONS ARE COMPLETED BUT OTHER ASPECTS OF THE SCHEDULE B ARE NOT COMPLETE, OR CONTAIN A COPY OR COMPUTATION ERROR THAT IS AT ODDS WITH THE VENDOR CERTIFICATION AND AFFIRMATIONS, THE BIDDER/PROPOSER WILL BE NOTIFIED BY THE AGENCY AND WILL BE GIVEN FOUR (4) CALENDAR DAYS FROM RECEIPT OF NOTIFICATION TO CURE THE SPECIFIED DEFICIENCIES AND RETURN A COMPLETED SCHEDULE B TO THE AGENCY. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN A DETERMINATION THAT THE BID/PROPOSAL IS NON-RESPONSIVE. RECEIPT OF NOTIFICATION IS DEFINED AS THE DATE NOTICE IS E-MAILED OR FAXED (IF THE BIDDER/PROPOSER HAS PROVIDED AN E-MAIL ADDRESS OR FAX NUMBER), OR NO LATER THAN FIVE (5) CALENDAR DAYS FROM THE DATE OF MAILING OR UPON DELIVERY, IF DELIVERED.

5. Where an M/WBE Utilization Plan has been submitted, the Contractor shall, within 30 days of issuance by Agency of a notice to proceed, submit a list of proposed persons or entities to which it intends to award subcontracts within the subsequent 12 months. In the case of multiyear contracts, such list shall also be submitted every year thereafter. The Agency may also require the Contractor to report periodically about the contracts awarded by its direct 3

06/2013 subcontractors to indirect subcontractors (as defined in Section 6-129(c)(22)). PLEASE NOTE: If this Contract is a public works project subject to GML §101(5) (i.e., a contract valued at or below $3M for projects in New York City) or if the Contract is subject to a project labor agreement in accordance with Labor Law §222, and the bidder is required to identify at the time of bid submission its intended subcontractors for the Wicks trades (plumbing and gas fitting; steam heating, hot water heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC); and electric wiring), the Contractor must identify all those to which it intends to award construction subcontracts for any portion of the Wicks trade work at the time of bid submission, regardless of what point in the life of the contract such subcontracts will occur. In identifying intended subcontractors in the bid submission, bidders may satisfy any Participation Goals established for this Contract by proposing one or more subcontractors that are MBEs and/or WBEs for any portion of the Wicks trade work. In the event that the Contractor’s selection of a subcontractor is disapproved, the Contractor shall have a reasonable time to propose alternate subcontractors. 6. MBE and WBE firms must be certified by DSBS in order for the Contractor to credit such firms’ participation toward the attainment of the Participation Goals. Such certification must occur prior to the firms’ commencement of work. A list of MBE and WBE firms may be obtained from the DSBS website at www.nyc.gov/buycertified, by emailing DSBS at [email protected], by calling (212) 513-6356, or by visiting or writing DSBS at 110 William St., New York, New York, 10038, 7th floor. Eligible firms that have not yet been certified may contact DSBS in order to seek certification by visiting www.nyc.gov/getcertified, emailing [email protected], or calling the DSBS certification helpline at (212) 513-6311. A firm that is certified as both an MBE and a WBE may be counted either toward the goal for MBEs or the goal for WBEs, but not both. No credit shall be given for participation by a graduate MBE or graduate WBE, as defined in Section 6-129(c)(20). 7. Where an M/WBE Utilization Plan has been submitted, the Contractor shall, with each voucher for payment, and/or periodically as Agency may require, submit statements, certified under penalty of perjury, which shall include, but not be limited to,: the total amount the Contractor paid to its direct subcontractors, and, where applicable pursuant to Section 6-129(j), the total amount direct subcontractors paid to indirect subcontractors; the names, addresses and contact numbers of each MBE or WBE hired as a subcontractor by the Contractor, and, where applicable, hired by any of the Contractor’s direct subcontractors; and the dates and amounts paid to each MBE or WBE. The Contractor shall also submit, along with its voucher for final payment: the total amount it paid to subcontractors, and, where applicable pursuant to Section 6129(j), the total amount its direct subcontractors paid directly to their indirect subcontractors; and a final list, certified under penalty of perjury, which shall include the name, address and contact information of each subcontractor that is an MBE or WBE, the work performed by, and the dates and amounts paid to each. 8. If payments made to, or work performed by, MBEs or WBEs are less than the amount specified in the Contractor’s M/WBE Utilization Plan, Agency shall take appropriate action, in accordance with Section 6-129 and Article II below, unless the Contractor has obtained a modification of its M/WBE Utilization Plan in accordance with Section 6-129 and Part A, Section 11 below.

06/2013 9. Where an M/WBE Utilization Plan has been submitted, and the Contractor requests a change order the value of which exceeds the greater of 10 percent of the Contract or Task Order, as applicable, or $500,000, Agency shall review the scope of work for the Contract or Task Order, as applicable, and the scale and types of work involved in the change order, and determine whether the Participation Goals should be modified. 10. Pre-award waiver of the Participation Goals. (a) A bidder or proposer, or contractor with respect to a Task Order, may seek a pre-award full or partial waiver of the Participation Goals in accordance with Section 6-129, which requests that Agency change one or more Participation Goals on the grounds that the Participation Goals are unreasonable in light of the availability of certified firms to perform the services required, or by demonstrating that it has legitimate business reasons for proposing a lower level of subcontracting in its M/WBE Utilization Plan. (b) To apply for a full or partial waiver of the Participation Goals, a bidder, proposer, or contractor, as applicable, must complete Part III (Page 5) of Schedule B and submit such request no later than seven (7) calendar days prior to the date and time the bids, proposals, or Task Orders are due, in writing to the Agency by email at ______________________ or via facsimile at ( ) ______________________. Bidders, proposers, or contractors, as applicable, who have submitted requests will receive an Agency response by no later than two (2) calendar days prior to the due date for bids, proposals, or Task Orders; provided, however, that if that date would fall on a weekend or holiday, an Agency response will be provided by close-of-business on the business day before such weekend or holiday date. (c) If the Agency determines that the Participation Goals are unreasonable in light of the availability of certified firms to perform the services required, it shall revise the solicitation and extend the deadline for bids and proposals, or revise the Task Order, as applicable. (d) Agency may grant a full or partial waiver of the Participation Goals to a bidder, proposer or contractor, as applicable, who demonstrates—before submission of the bid, proposal or Task Order, as applicable—that it has legitimate business reasons for proposing the level of subcontracting in its M/WBE Utilization Plan. In making its determination, Agency shall consider factors that shall include, but not be limited to, whether the bidder, proposer or contractor, as applicable, has the capacity and the bona fide intention to perform the Contract without any subcontracting, or to perform the Contract without awarding the amount of subcontracts represented by the Participation Goals. In making such determination, Agency may consider whether the M/WBE Utilization Plan is consistent with past subcontracting practices of the bidder, proposer or contractor, as applicable, whether the bidder, proposer or contractor, as applicable, has made efforts to form a joint venture with a certified firm, and whether the bidder, proposer, or contractor, as applicable, has made good faith efforts to identify other portions of the Contract that it intends to subcontract. 11. Modification of M/WBE Utilization Plan. (a) A Contractor may request a modification of its M/WBE Utilization Plan after award of this Contract. PLEASE NOTE: If this Contract is a public works project subject to GML §101(5) (i.e., a contract valued at or below $3M for projects in New York City) or if the Contract is subject to a project labor agreement in accordance with Labor Law §222, and the bidder is required to identify at the time of bid 5

06/2013 submission its intended subcontractors for the Wicks trades (plumbing and gas fitting; steam heating, hot water heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC); and electric wiring), the Contractor may request a Modification of its M/WBE Utilization Plan as part of its bid submission. The Agency may grant a request for Modification of a Contractor’s M/WBE Utilization Plan if it determines that the Contractor has established, with appropriate documentary and other evidence, that it made reasonable, good faith efforts to meet the Participation Goals. In making such determination, Agency shall consider evidence of the following efforts, as applicable, along with any other relevant factors: (i) The Contractor advertised opportunities to participate in the Contract, where appropriate, in general circulation media, trade and professional association publications and small business media, and publications of minority and women’s business organizations; (ii) The Contractor provided notice of specific opportunities to participate in the Contract, in a timely manner, to minority and women’s business organizations; (iii) The Contractor sent written notices, by certified mail or facsimile, in a timely manner, to advise MBEs or WBEs that their interest in the Contract was solicited; (iv) The Contractor made efforts to identify portions of the work that could be substituted for portions originally designated for participation by MBEs and/or WBEs in the M/WBE Utilization Plan, and for which the Contractor claims an inability to retain MBEs or WBEs; (v) The Contractor held meetings with MBEs and/or WBEs prior to the date their bids or proposals were due, for the purpose of explaining in detail the scope and requirements of the work for which their bids or proposals were solicited; (vi) The Contractor made efforts to negotiate with MBEs and/or WBEs as relevant to perform specific subcontracts, or act as suppliers or service providers; (vii) Timely written requests for assistance made by the Contractor to Agency’s M/WBE liaison officer and to DSBS; (viii) Description of how recommendations made by DSBS and Agency were acted upon and an explanation of why action upon such recommendations did not lead to the desired level of participation of MBEs and/or WBEs. Agency’s M/WBE officer shall provide written notice to the Contractor of the determination. (b) The Agency may modify the Participation Goals when the scope of the work has been changed by the Agency in a manner that affects the scale and types of work that the Contractor indicated in its M/WBE Utilization Plan would be awarded to subcontractors. 6

06/2013 12. If this Contract is for an indefinite quantity of construction, standard or professional services or is a requirements type contract and the Contractor has submitted an M/WBE Utilization Plan and has committed to subcontract work to MBEs and/or WBEs in order to meet the Participation Goals, the Contractor will not be deemed in violation of the M/WBE Program requirements for this Contract with regard to any work which was intended to be subcontracted to an MBE and/or WBE to the extent that the Agency has determined that such work is not needed. 13. If Participation Goals have been established for this Contract or a Task Order issued pursuant to this Contract, at least once annually during the term of the Contract or Task Order, as applicable, Agency shall review the Contractor’s progress toward attainment of its M/WBE Utilization Plan, including but not limited to, by reviewing the percentage of work the Contractor has actually awarded to MBE and/or WBE subcontractors and the payments the Contractor made to such subcontractors. 14. If Participation Goals have been established for this Contract or a Task Order issued pursuant to this Contract, Agency shall evaluate and assess the Contractor’s performance in meeting those goals, and such evaluation and assessment shall become part of the Contractor’s overall contract performance evaluation. PART B MISCELLANEOUS 1. The Contractor shall take notice that, if this solicitation requires the establishment of a M/WBE Utilization Plan, the resulting contract may be audited by DSBS to determine compliance with Section 6-129. See §6-129(e)(10). Furthermore, such resulting contract may also be examined by the City’s Comptroller to assess compliance with the M/WBE Utilization Plan. 2. Pursuant to DSBS rules, construction contracts that include a requirement for a M/WBE Utilization Plan shall not be subject to the law governing Locally Based Enterprises set forth in Section 6-108.1 of the Administrative Code of the City of New York. 3. DSBS is available to assist contractors and potential contractors in determining the availability of MBEs and/or WBEs to participate as subcontractors, and in identifying opportunities that are appropriate for participation by MBEs and/or WBEs in contracts. 4. Prospective contractors are encouraged to enter into qualified joint venture agreements with MBEs and/or WBEs as defined by Section 6-129(c)(30). 5. By submitting a bid or proposal the Contractor hereby acknowledges its understanding of the M/WBE Program requirements set forth herein and the pertinent provisions of Section 6-129, and any rules promulgated thereunder, and if awarded this Contract, the Contractor hereby agrees to comply with the M/WBE Program requirements of this Contract and pertinent provisions of Section 6-129, and any rules promulgated thereunder, all of which shall be deemed to be material terms of this Contract. The Contractor hereby agrees to make all reasonable, good

7

06/2013 faith efforts to solicit and obtain the participation of MBEs and/or WBEs to meet the required Participation Goals.

ARTICLE II.

ENFORCEMENT

1. If Agency determines that a bidder or proposer, as applicable, has, in relation to this procurement, violated Section 6-129 or the DSBS rules promulgated pursuant to Section 6-129, Agency may disqualify such bidder or proposer, as applicable, from competing for this Contract and the Agency may revoke such bidder’s or proposer’s prequalification status, if applicable. 2. Whenever Agency believes that the Contractor or a subcontractor is not in compliance with Section 6-129 or the DSBS rules promulgated pursuant to Section 6-129, or any provision of this Contract that implements Section 6-129, including, but not limited to any M/WBE Utilization Plan, Agency shall send a written notice to the Contractor describing the alleged noncompliance and offering the Contractor an opportunity to be heard. Agency shall then conduct an investigation to determine whether such Contractor or subcontractor is in compliance. 3. In the event that the Contractor has been found to have violated Section 6-129, the DSBS rules promulgated pursuant to Section 6-129, or any provision of this Contract that implements Section 6-129, including, but not limited to, any M/WBE Utilization Plan, Agency may determine that one of the following actions should be taken: (a) entering into an agreement with the Contractor allowing the Contractor to cure the violation; (b) revoking the Contractor's pre-qualification to bid or make proposals for future contracts; (c) making a finding that the Contractor is in default of the Contract; (d) terminating the Contract; (e) declaring the Contractor to be in breach of Contract; (f) withholding payment or reimbursement; (g) determining not to renew the Contract; (h) assessing actual and consequential damages; (i) assessing liquidated damages or reducing fees, provided that liquidated damages may be based on amounts representing costs of delays in carrying out the purposes of the M/WBE Program, or in meeting the purposes of the Contract, the costs of meeting utilization goals through additional procurements, the administrative costs of investigation and enforcement, or other factors set forth in the Contract;

8

06/2013 (j) exercising rights under the Contract to procure goods, services or construction from another contractor and charge the cost of such contract to the Contractor that has been found to be in noncompliance; or (k) taking any other appropriate remedy. 4. If an M/WBE Utilization Plan has been submitted, and pursuant to this Article II, Section 3, the Contractor has been found to have failed to fulfill its Participation Goals contained in its M/WBE Utilization Plan or the Participation Goals as modified by Agency pursuant to Article I, Part A, Section 11, Agency may assess liquidated damages in the amount of ten percent (10%) of the difference between the dollar amount of work required to be awarded to MBE and/or WBE firms to meet the Participation Goals and the dollar amount the Contractor actually awarded and paid, and/or credited, to MBE and/or WBE firms. In view of the difficulty of accurately ascertaining the loss which the City will suffer by reason of Contractor’s failure to meet the Participation Goals, the foregoing amount is hereby fixed and agreed as the liquidated damages that the City will suffer by reason of such failure, and not as a penalty. Agency may deduct and retain out of any monies which may become due under this Contract the amount of any such liquidated damages; and in case the amount which may become due under this Contract shall be less than the amount of liquidated damages suffered by the City, the Contractor shall be liable to pay the difference. 5. Whenever Agency has reason to believe that an MBE and/or WBE is not qualified for certification, or is participating in a contract in a manner that does not serve a commercially useful function (as defined in Section 6-129(c)(8)), or has violated any provision of Section 6129, Agency shall notify the Commissioner of DSBS who shall determine whether the certification of such business enterprise should be revoked. 6. Statements made in any instrument submitted to Agency pursuant to Section 6-129 shall be submitted under penalty of perjury and any false or misleading statement or omission shall be grounds for the application of any applicable criminal and/or civil penalties for perjury. The making of a false or fraudulent statement by an MBE and/or WBE in any instrument submitted pursuant to Section 6-129 shall, in addition, be grounds for revocation of its certification. 7. The Contractor's record in implementing its M/WBE Utilization Plan shall be a factor in the evaluation of its performance. Whenever Agency determines that a Contractor's compliance with an M/WBE Utilization Plan has been unsatisfactory, Agency shall, after consultation with the City Chief Procurement Officer, file an advice of caution form for inclusion in VENDEX as caution data.

Project Description (attach additional pages if necessary) The general purpose of this project will be to implement a Signs Information Management System (SIMS) to optimize operations regarding the life cycle of the agency's Traffic Control Devices (TCD). The life of a device usually begins as a request to install or modify a TCD. SIMS shall capture these requests and facilitate their investigations which will lead to a determination of whether or not the device shall be installed or modified. SIMS will serve as the official repository of approved TCDs. It will manage inventory information for TCDs and materials needed for installations. The system will also manage ancillary processes, some of which include inventory requisitioning and distribution, document management, field work audits and inspections, and contractor management.

Attachment G)

LOCAL LAW 34: DOING BUSINESS DATA FORM AND INSTRUCTIONS

(To be submitted in a separate sealed envelope contained within the Proposal Package envelope or box)

DOING BUSINESS ACCOUNTABILITY PROJECT

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE DOING BUSINESS DATA FORM What is the purpose of this Data Form? To collect accurate, up-to-date identification information about entities that have business dealings with the City of New York in order to comply with Local Law 34 of 2007 (LL 34), the recently passed campaign finance reform law. LL 34 limits municipal campaign contributions from principal officers, owners and senior managers of these entities and mandates the creation of a Doing Business Database to allow the City to enforce the law. The information requested in this Data Form must be provided, regardless of whether the entity or the people associated with it make or intend to make campaign contributions. No sensitive personal information collected will be disclosed to the public. Why have I received this Data Form? The contract, franchise, concession, grant or economic development agreement you are proposing on, applying for or have already been awarded is considered a business dealing with the City under LL 34. No proposal or application will be considered and no award will be made unless this Data Form is completed. Most transactions valued at more than $5,000 are considered business dealings and require completion of the Data Form. Exceptions include transactions awarded on an emergency basis or by publicly advertised, non-pre-qualified competitive sealed bid. Other types of transactions that are considered business dealings include real property and land use actions with the City. What entities will be included in the Doing Business Database? Entities that hold $100,000 or more in grants, contracts for goods or services, franchises or concessions ($500,000 or more for construction contracts), along with entities that hold any economic development agreements or pension fund investment contracts, are considered to be doing business with the City for the purposes of LL 34 and will be included in the Doing Business Database. Because all of the business that an entity does or proposes to do with the City will be added together, the Data Form must be completed for all covered transactions even if an entity does not currently do enough business with the City to be listed in the Database. What individuals will be included in the Doing Business Database? The principal officers, owners and certain senior managers of entities listed in the Doing Business Database are themselves considered to be doing business with the City and will also be included in the Database. • Principal Officers are the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Chief Operating Officer (COO), or their functional equivalents. See the Data Form for examples of titles that apply. • Principal Owners are individuals who own or control 10% of more of the entity. This includes stockholders, partners and anyone else with an ownership or controlling interest in the entity. • Senior Managers include anyone who, either by job title or actual duties, has substantial discretion and high-level oversight regarding the solicitation, letting or administration of any contract, concession, franchise, grant or economic development agreement with the City. At least one Senior Manager must be listed or the Data Form will be considered incomplete. I provided some of this information on the VENDEX Questionnaire; do I have to provide it again? Although the Doing Business Data Form and the VENDEX Questionnaire request some of the same information, they serve entirely different purposes. In addition, the Data Form requests information concerning senior managers, which is not part of the VENDEX Questionnaire. My organization is proposing on a contract with another firm as a Joint Venture that does not exist yet; how should the Data Form be completed? A joint venture that does not yet exist must submit Data Forms from each of its component firms. If the joint venture receives the award, it must then complete a form in the name of the joint venture. Page 1 of 2 Printed on paper containing 30% post-consumer material

Will the information on this Data Form be available to the public? The names and titles of the officers, owners and senior managers reported on the Data Form will be made available to the public, as will information about the entity itself. However, personal identifying information, such as home address, home phone and date of birth, will not be disclosed to the public, and home address and phone number information will not be used for communication purposes. No one in my organization plans to contribute to a candidate; do I have to fill out this Data Form? Yes. All entities are required to return this Data Form with complete and accurate information, regardless of the history or intention of the entity or its officers, owners or senior managers to make campaign contributions. The Doing Business Database must be complete so that the Campaign Finance Board can verify whether future contributions are in compliance with the law. I have already completed a Doing Business Data Form; do I have to submit another one? Yes. An entity is required to submit a Doing Business Data Form each time it proposes on or enters a transaction considered business dealings with the City. However, the Data Form has both a No Change option, which only requires an entity to report its EIN and sign the last page, and a Change option, which allows an entity to only fill in applicable information that has changed since the previous completion of the Data Form. No entity should have to fill out the entire Data Form more than once. How does a person remove him/herself from the Doing Business Database? Any person who believes that s/he should not be listed may apply for removal from the Database by submitting a Request for Removal. Reasons that a person would be removed include his/her no longer being the principal officer, owner or senior manger of the entity, or the entity no longer being in business. Entities may also update their database information by submitting an update form. Both of these forms are available online at www.nyc.gov/mocs (once there, click MOCS Programs) or by calling 212-788-8104. How long will an entity and its officers, owners and senior managers remain listed on the Doing Business Database? • Contract, Concession and Economic Development Agreement holders: generally for the term of the transaction, plus one year. • Franchise and Grant holders: from the commencement or renewal of the transaction, plus one year. • Pension investment contracts: from the time of presentation on an investment opportunity or the submission of a proposal, whichever is earlier, until the end of the contract, plus one year. • Line item and discretionary appropriations: from the date of budget adoption until the end of the contract, plus one year. • Contract proposers: for one year from the proposal date or date of public advertisement of the solicitation, whichever is later. • Franchise and Concession proposers: for one year from the proposal submission date. For information on other transaction types, contact the Doing Business Accountability Project. What are the new campaign contribution limits for people doing business with the City? Contributions to City Council candidates are limited to $250 per election cycle; $320 to Borough President candidates; and $400 to candidates for citywide office. Please contact the NYC Campaign Finance Board for more information at www.nyccfb.info, or 212-306-7100. The Data Form is to be returned to the contracting agency. If you have any questions about the Data Form please contact the Doing Business Accountability Project at 212-788-8104 or [email protected]. 5/16/08

The provisions apply to contracts with a value in excess of $100,000. Local Law No. 33-2012, the Whistleblower Protection Expansion Act (“WPEA”), prohibits a contractor or its subcontractor from taking an adverse personnel action against an employee or officer for whistleblower activity in connection with a City contract; requires that certain City contracts include a provision to that effect; and provides that a contractor or subcontractor may be subject to penalties and injunctive relief if a court finds that it retaliated in violation of the WPEA. The WPEA is codified at Section 12-113 of the New York City Administrative Code. Local Law No. 30-2012 requires a contractor to prominently post information explaining how its employees can report allegations of fraud, false claims, criminality, or corruption in connection with a City contract to City officials and the rights and remedies afforded to employees for whistleblowing activity. Local Law No. 30-2012 is codified at Section 6-132 of the New York City Administrative Code.

SUBCONTRACTOR COMPLIANCE NOTICE

Dear [Prime Contractor], As of March 2013, the City of New York is significantly enhancing the way in which vendors report their subcontractors. In the past both subcontract information and payment information were handled exclusively on paper, which was cumbersome for City agencies and burdensome for vendors. In an effort to streamline the process and provide more transparency for vendors, agencies and the public, the Mayor’s Office of Contract Services and the Comptroller’s Office have created an on-line reporting system that will: eliminate much of the paper process; automatically report M/WBE spending; and allow the City and its vendors to review and update information on a real-time basis. In March new contracts valued over a $1 million will be required to report subcontract data on-line and in June all contracts over $250,000 will also report subcontractor information on-line. The City selected the $250,000 cutoff, because it represents 96% of the dollars that the City spends on outside vendors but only 20% of the City’s contracts, thus simplifying the transition for vendors. The City’s new subcontract data collection system is part of the Payee information Portal (PIP) at: www.nyc.gov/PIP, (Welcome to the Payee Information Portal of the City of New York) which already allows vendors to manage their own contact information, view payments from the City, and enroll in commodity codes to receive solicitations. Vendors using the new system are required to have a PIP account. Many vendors already have an account and detailed instructions on how to create a PIP account for those who do not yet have one have been provided below for convenience – see Activation Quick Start. You should now be using this new system to report subcontractors to the contracting agency for approval. We understand that this is a new process and that there may be additional questions not covered in these materials. If that is the case, please contact the FISA call center with technical reporting or activation questions at (212) 857-1777 or via email at [email protected] Also continue to reach out to your City Agency contact if you have specific questions regarding vendors. Thank you all in advance.

Dear [Subcontractor], As of March 2013, the City of New York is significantly enhancing how prime vendors report subcontractors. New contracts valued over a $1 million will be required to report subcontract data on-line and in June contracts over $250,000 will also be included. Please note that as a subcontractor, you will need to have an account on the City's Payee information Portal (PIP). PIP is a self-service site that allows vendors and subcontractors to manage their own contact information. Signing up for PIP requires only a few minutes and asks for only basic information about your firm. Many subcontractors already have a PIP account, although some may not be aware of it. Please visit the City’s PIP website at: www.nyc.gov/PIP (Welcome to the Payee Information Portal of the City of New York) and review the instructions that have been provided below for your convenience if you need to create an account– see Activation Quick Start Guide. If you do not know if you have an account or need assistance creating one, please contact the FISA call center with technical activation questions at (212) 857-1777 or via email at [email protected]. Thank you all in advance.

SIMS CORE WORKFLOWS

SIGN ORDER

REPAIR ORDER

A Sign Order is created to add a new sign, remove an existing sign or change an existing sign.

A Repair Order is created to restore the existing sign, and it is created from the current sign order details.

Subset of Sign Order

Subset of Sign Order

HAND WRITTEN ORDER (HRO)

1-STAGE (CONTRACT ORDER)

2-STAGE (CONFIRMING ORDER)

An HRO is generated when the location of the proposed order already has a current order pending. It has the same structure and workflow as a repair order.

A one-stage workflow will offer the option to enter sign changes but bypass the approval and sign shop stages of the workflow.

A two-stage workflow will allow for an order to be updated and approved, but not transmitted to the sign shop.

Geographic Information System (GIS) OTHER ANCILLARY REQUIREMENTS

Each TCD will relate to a geographical location, allowing users to view and manipulate TCDs and associated data using a GIS-based map interface and other geographic tools.

Query and Reporting The system will include ad-hoc querying and reporting, a repository for saved queries and reports and the ability to export data in several formats.

Note: This figure provides only an overview of the key workflow items for SIMS. Please refer to the detailed Work Breakdown Structure and the Requirement Traceability Matrix for an exhaustive scope for SIMS.

SIMS DEMONSTRATION PLAN

Introduction NYCDOT is requesting a software demonstration to supplement their written proposal. Demonstrations will be limited to 30 minutes, with time for follow-up questions. Each vendor should use the opportunity to demonstrate as much of their software as possible while addressing the scenarios outlined below. The goal of this project is to acquire advanced technology to manage traffic signs, roadway markings, etc. DOT is looking to transition from existing work processes to the most efficient and effective way to utilize the system that we will purchase. Existing processes have been captured in the two scenarios below. To the best of their ability, the vendor should demonstrate the scenarios as written. If the vendor is not able to utilize the scenarios as written, the vendor will be asked to show how the desired result can be achieved using other means, i.e., configuration, customization via SDK or additional code, etc. Vendors will be supplied with a subset of DOT’s data in an ESRI file geodatabase of traffic signs and related metadata. The traffic signs geodatabase contains a feature class of traffic signs and support structures as well as a table of sign work orders. Vendors should load the data and use it to demonstrate their product. Vendors should also create users with the levels of access needed to execute the scenarios outlined below. The database is stored at DOT’s FTP site:

Data Background Each vendor will be given an ESRI file geodatabase containing current and historical sign orders. This data has been exported from DOT’s current STATUS mainframe file set and each sign has been geolocated. The STATUS application groups signs into work orders. A work order represents the unit or grouping of signs that is viewed together by DOT’s engineers. Signs within a work order are directly related to each other, i.e., signs along a particular street segment or intersection would be in the same order. Work orders exist in 4 stages:    

Current (Record Type 1) Pending Order (Record Type 2) Historical (Record Type 3) Pending Repair (Record Type 4)

It is critical to DOT that the proposed software has the ability to maintain the current and historical data as well as view each sign as part of its larger work order grouping. A work order represents text images of a block, intersection or stretch at a point in time, so a complete set of associated sign data is saved upon completion of each work order. Page 1 of 6

A repair order is a special case of a work order in that it seeks to restore the condition of a location to that of the current work order. No new signs can be added, removed or changed in a repair order. In addition, repair orders are accomplished with an abbreviated workflow. There is no approval phase for repairs, so as soon as a user submits a repair order, it is routed to the sign shop (sign installation stage).

Scenario I –The Workflow Each work order starts with the current state of a location—the most recently completed work order— and builds upon it. For example, a study shows that the intersection of Park Avenue and 32nd Street would benefit from a “No Left Turn” sign. An inspector opens the SIMS application and searches for the current sign order for that location. [1] Using a tabular interface, the inspector enters the borough (M), location (Park Avenue @ East 32nd Street) and the order type for intersections (C-). [2] Using a map-based approach, the inspector performs a search for the same sign order geographically, by opening the map and selecting the signs (drawing a polygon) located around the intersection. The work order(s) associated with the signs within the polygon should be listed in tabular form in the interface. The user clicks on the desired work order. [3] The application prevents any other orders proposed against the current order. [4] The application creates the new pending order by copying data from the current sign order. [5] The header items displayed should include the borough, order number, location (on street, from street, to street) and maintenance district. The header should also display several lines of freeform text pre-populated with the current order’s notes. A user should be able to modify these notes as well as the maintenance district. [6] The application should display the current user’s information (name, phone and email address). The user should be able to click on the email address and send an email. [7] The current signs are listed on the pending order by sequence number (1, 2, 3, etc.). Information displayed for each sign includes the sign sequence number, the sign identifier (SMO), the distance from the intersection and the sign location (“N/E C” means “northeast corner”). [8] The user adds the new sign to the work order at sequence number 2. The new sign identifier (SMO) is R3-2, the distance from the intersection is 0 and the sign location is “N/W C”. The sign listing is redisplayed with the new sign at sequence number 2. [9] At this point another user in Parking Administration attempts to create a new order based on the same sign order. The system posts an error message as well as the name, phone and email address of the user (field inspector) holding the order. The Parking Administration user clicks on the email address and sends a message asking when the order will be available. The field inspector replies.

[10] The field inspector holding the order appends a note “Install No Left Turn at N/W C” to the existing notes in the header section and sends the work order for approval. [11] The order is routed to the Manhattan Borough Engineer and is now in the approval stage. The engineer is notified using a system alert and a request appearing on the Borough Engineer’s dashboard. [12] The system should demonstrate the ability to notify the appropriate borough engineer based on the location of the order. For example, this work request is in the borough of Manhattan, and therefore falls under the jurisdiction of the Manhattan Borough Engineers office. If the sign was located in Brooklyn, it should be routed to the Brooklyn Borough Engineers office, etc. The system should also demonstrate the ability to modify the workflow based on a change in DOT organizational structure, for example, a special approval process for a large capital project location. [13] The Borough Engineer opens the order and reviews the notes and sign listing. The engineer finds an error with the proposed sign. He sends the work order back to the field inspector with a note stating the problem that he found. The work order is now back in the proposal stage. [14] The work order is corrected and once again routed to the Borough Engineer for approval. The Borough Engineer reviews the log of every operation on the work order and approves the work order. [15] The work order is assigned a new number. [16] The work order is routed to the sign shop (sign installation stage). [17] The sign shop supervisor searches the approved orders in the completion interface for those within a particular community board and prints all of the orders using a group selection. [18] The printed orders are now tagged or highlighted. This highlighting is specific to the user. [19] In addition, the “date last printed” and the name of the user that printed should appear in the order listing and prominently at the top of the order itself. [20] The printed orders are given to a field unit and the installation is done. The shop supervisor enters the completion date to close the order and the Borough Engineer is sent a notification that the request has been closed and the information appears on his dashboard. Upon completion, the pending order becomes the current order and the current order becomes historical.

Scenario 2 –Analytics [1] Search for the order entered in Scenario 1. Show that it is a current order. [2] Search for the superseded order. Show that it is now historical.

[3] A traffic engineer would like to investigate the installation of “No Left Turn” signs. The engineer opens the system and performs a query to see how many work orders have been initiated that included “No Left Turn” signs throughout the city. This is done by searching the current sign orders for the SMO R3-2. [4] The engineer emails the search results to the Borough Engineers for comments. [5] The engineer saves the query to his dashboard. [6] Based on feedback, the traffic engineer refines his query to restrict the results to work orders that took place in Manhattan, south of 34th Street and within the past year. This is performed by interactively drawing a polygon on a map to filter work orders based on the subject area (south of 34th Street in Manhattan) and combining this with the query criteria “SMO R3-2” and “within the past year”. [7] He then prints a map showing all of these work orders and creates a tabular report of all results ordered by street name.
